With the advent of modern technology, people have resorted to the internet and mobile phones. At the same time, people are more inclined to use smartphones and apps to facilitate day to day activities including having safety tips through them during a crisis like COVID 19 pandemic. Without a doubt, web sites and apps help to improve those needs of the people but most of them are incapable of giving providing thee absolute necessary tips according to person. For instance, the way of conveying the necessary tips to be talking to an adult is completely different from conveying an adult. It has to be much simpler. Therefore, using an artistic way comes to an option. Wherever people have the accessibility and ease of having information about the seriousness of this pandemic has made a significant impact on people’s quality of life. Considering these facts this web application may enable people from each generation to make it to the end of this crisis.
Target Area
Our scope aims at people who are seeking information on these epidemic scenarios with or without an idea of their current situation or proper knowledge in this area. We especially focus on kids and people with ill literacy of these subjects who have a higher possibility of not being aware of the seriousness of this threat and to guide them for their safety through;
Presenting Satellite Images
One of the features includes our site which uses Remote Sensing images to study the spreading patterns of the infected ones when it comes to such pandemics.
Dashboard
This shows the current situation of the crisis we are passing through
GIS data analyzation
We believe that art is a way of making people believe in things that they are not confident enough to believe. It fills the gap of knowledge on certain subjects. We notice that people are so unaware of the seriousness of the situation when it comes to COVID 19 pandemic. Especially children are not aware of this as they should. So we decide to convey the seriousness of the incident through a much familiar way is a must during this pandemics. Hence we chose this challenge.
Safety tips will be given based on the gathered data on previous pandemics and might be able to make them be more aware of their safety during this pandemic.
We used space agency data to show the spread of current pandemic scenario and previous epidemics as well through live maps and relevant histograms.
The interface will be developed using HTML, CSS, JS, mainly through platforms of visual studio code and GitHub accordingly. Due to COVID 19 crisis, it was impossible to work under one roof therefore we used Zoom and Hangout platforms to share our views on work. We mainly focus on giving easy access to data. Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop were used for designing part. By using the data provided by NASA and other providers we are planning to display a dashboard regarding current pandemic and image data based on the spread of previous pandemics combined with artistic effects such as kids friendly theme, cartoons etc.

We are willing to do our future developments as follows:
We are planning to expand our database and gather more data about such incidents which took place in history including satellite images of them as well. We are planning to develop this under an android simulator for instance and build a mobile-friendly application with a popup quiz for each generation. For instance, we are planning to divide our platform into three divisions based on the age of the user. We are planning to add narration type environment to this as well. Covidpedia will play the main role in humankind after all.
